What is the Juche Philosophical Outlook on the World?

Answer: The Juche philosophical outlook on the world is the viewpoint and stand to the world centering on man.

General Secretary Kim Jong Il said that the Juche outlook on the world that established the view on the world with man at the center and that clarified the viewpoint and stand towards the world centering on man forms the highest stage in the development of the world outlook.

The Juche philosophical outlook on the world is, first of all, the view on the world centering on man.

The Juche philosophical outlook on the world clarifies that the world is dominated and transformed by man and that the world develops according to the development of man and in the direction of serving man by the volitional action and role of man, on the basis of the fundamental principle that man is master of everything and decides everything.

The Juche philosophical outlook on the world is, next, the viewpoint and attitude to the world with man at the center.

The Juche philosophical outlook on the world clarifies that it is necessary to approach the world from the viewpoint of interests of man and deal with the change and development of the world focusing on man because man is dominator and transformer of the world.

There have been various types of world outlook in history, but there was none that indicated clearly the viewpoint and stand on the world placing man at the center. Even the materialists who in the past had regarded the world as a material object, to say nothing of the idealists who considered it as a world of ideas or spirit, could not put forward the viewpoint and approach towards the world with man at the center. The preceding materialistic and dialectic outlook on the world of Marxism clarified scientifically that the world consists of matters and it changes and develops continuously but never elucidated the viewpoint and attitude to the world with man at the center.

It is the characteristic of the Juche philosophical outlook on the world that it is the man-centered philosophical outlook on the world that newly raised the position and role of man in the world as the fundamental question of philosophy and developed and systematized on the fundamental principle that man is master of everything and decides everything.
